Lyrics:

One of the many hits The Hollies had in 1967.
This one reached No. 4 in England and #11 in the US. It was the first time Graham Nash sang lead on a hit.

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near, yet so far

On a carousel
On a carousel

Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in my way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still, we're going round

On a carousel
On a carousel

'Round and 'round and 'round and round and
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too


As she leaves, she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die

On a carousel
On a carousel

'Round and 'round and 'round and round and
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her

On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel...
